    C.

    ​three to eight ​

    D.

    two to four ​

    Correct option is A

    The correct answer is (A) three to seven.

    El Niño is a complex weather system that occurs roughly every three to seven years. It is a warming of the tropical Pacific that can cause drought, floods, and other weather extremes. 

    Explanation

    • El Niño is a warming of the tropical Pacific Ocean that occurs when trade winds weaken and warm water moves eastward. 
    • It's linked to the Southern Oscillation, which is a change in atmospheric pressure between the Australian–East Asian region and the eastern tropical Pacific. 
    • El Niño can impact weather in many places, including India, where it can lead to below-normal rainfall and droughts. 
    • The name El Niño is Spanish for "the child" and refers to the baby Christ, as the current usually appears around Christmas.
